if it's so awesome, why aren't straight ppl doing it for attention?

does it ever occur to you ppl that ppl come out because they are sick
of dodging every question about whether they are seeing somebody
and redacting excerts from even the most mundane aspects of their weekend
or worrying about who sees them walking into a gay club
or trying to guess at who knows and who suspects

and maybe, just maybe, it's easier to just come out and tell ppl
rather than deal with you ppl's prying eyes... constantly trying to guess
at who's suspect, and who's on the DL, and who
is not as straight as they appear?





and besides, the idea that he needed to be a perfect player
was always beside the point.

equality isn't when exceptional minorities get to get to be in the NFL.
equality is when average players can be in it too.

i know there is progress in terms of the number of black quarterbacks
because there are enough black quarterbacks for some of them to suck.

that's equal.
